...could be seen on the highways and roadways in and around Philadelphia. A dangerous combination has been growing exponentially. Roads that cannot handle the increased volume of automobiles, unsafe damaged roadwork, road construction and careless, reckless drivers. This is a recipe for disaster and mayhem.
First, I have been a registered driver for 40 years with an unimpeachable driving record. Some of the driving I've witnessed over the years tell me that my doom and gloom is not far off kilter. I believe if you are going to drive through the Philadelphia area you should know the "Rules."
Things I've Learned and things that Philly Drivers (PD) do.
Learned: Red lights and Stop signs mean STOP.
PD: Stop only if cross traffic is coming and there are no traffic cams.
Learned: Right on Red is after coming to a complete stop and on-coming traffic clear.
PD: Don't stop, just turn, cut-off on-coming traffic, rundown pedestrians in the crosswalk. F*ck 'em all!
Also, No Turn On Red means NO TURN ON RED, d-bags. And to boot, No Turns On Red between 6 am. to 6 pm. does not mean you can turn right on red except on Full Moons, third Saturdays in months that start with an A or when there's a Republican in the White House. If it's 8 a.m., you don't get to turn on red because you're late for work. You're already in dutch with the boss, Dickweed.
Learned: You pass slower vehicles on the left and when it's safe.
PD: Pass on the left, right, above, below, by land or by sea. Who cares how you do it? Just do it.
Learned: Pedestrians have the Right-of-Way.
PD: Slow down enough to let them run to clear the street.
Learned: Follow other vehicles at a safe distance.
PD: Ride their ass until they get out of your way.
Learned: Speed limits should be obeyed.
PD: Speed limits are merely suggestions.
Learned: Motorcycles must obey all the same road rules as other motor vehicles.
PD: Drive/ride like you're one of the renegade riders from Mad Max.
Also, crotch-rocket riders, if you want other motorists to watch for you and respect your rights to be on the road, OBEY the !@#$% rules of the road too. This translates to don't pass on the right. Don't ride the dotted white line between lanes like it's your personal lane that includes the bicycle lane too, Evel Knievel.
Therefore, drive safe for the life you may save could be mine. And I've got a lot of shit left to do and I refuse to die in auto accident because some smacked-ass can't follow simple driving courtesy.
